Wedding Trends for 2012

A much needed new take on “something old” will be seen trending in 2012 weddings. Vintage inspiration is here to stay – however, we are relieved to see vintage used in a much need variation: good-bye rustic vintage, hello sophisticated old-world glamour. Thank you, William and Kate and your Royal Wedding!

Bridal Gown Trends for 2012
We welcome glamorous, romantic and old hollywood-style in bridal gowns in 2012. Designers have embraced and combined flowing elegance with texture and colour to produce show stopping gowns. Hot trends from the runway include:

Theme and Decor Trends for 2012
Bridal couples will continue to incorporate family heirlooms and traditions into their 2012 wedding, just with less mason jars, tin cans and vintage luggage. The “shabby-chic” will be replaced by detailed French lace on dresses, favours, cake detail, bouquet wraps, and invitations.

Sweets and Treats Trends for 2012
The cupcake and candy bar trend of previous seasons will shift towards cookies and dessert tables in 2012. Expect to start seeing more cookies, pies, doughnuts, and “hand-made” candy being served to fulfill the sweet tooth cravings of guests at 2012 weddings. We also expect to see a much anticipated return of the traditional groom’s cake.

Feeling very inspired by the old-world and glamours trends for 2012 we are looking very forward to the upcoming wedding season!
